December 22, 2017 · 3D printing spare parts offers efficiencies over traditional manufacturing. Historically, manufacturers anticipated what they required in spare parts over the course of years, maybe even decades, produced those volumes, then stored and distributed parts as needed. If inventory ran out, they initiated another manufacturing run, often at great expense with significant lead times. An alternative approach is to eliminate aftermarket inventory, 3D printing only what's required on-demand instead of maintaining costly maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) stock.
October 25, 2017 · In this digital issue featuring some of DE’s most popular content on the subject, we take a deeper look at how automotive design engineers are responding to changing regulatory requirements, electric drivetrains and self-driving technologies.
October 2, 2017 · Though a household name in computing systems and printers, HP is a relative newcomer to the 3D printing segment. What can its Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology do that others can't? It brings disruptive technology, according to HP's David Tucker, himself a product designer. In this presentation, Tucker discusses the type of projects where MJF offers superior results; ways to prep the CAD model to take advantage of MJF; and methods to optimize print layer and density."
October 2, 2017 · The use of simulations to displace physical tests has become essential in accelerating product development and reducing costs. However, simulation results may be substantially different from what is observed in reality. This could lead to premature product failure, costly warranty payments and a redesign campaign. In this webcast, Dr. Mark Andrews, UQ Technology Steward, SmartUQ, discusses why simulation results might not always be reliable, ways to calibrate simulation using test results and how to spot simulation anomalies and inaccurate results."
